Synopsis
The nanoscopic topography of butterfly wings has produced a wealth of data on how structural coloration works. This film is an artistic depiction of how butterflies actually grow these remarkable, infinitesimal patterns. The images that make up this animated film were taken with electron microscopes at magnifications of up to 50,000x.
